What I love about this is that reminds me so much of how I grew up... eating real foods. Today, everybody eats that nasty white bread from the store (to say nothing of people who cut the crust off of it... UGH!)

It's absolutely wonderful seeing you with your kids and how they are so enthusiastic about all this wonderful food. Great job!

[@kevinu.k.7042]

Lovely video. I have home milled for many years and I do test bakes. Some Tips: Put the wheat through the mill twice. The result is a much finer flour which will make a lighter bread. Bought flour has been aged, this merely means it was stored for over a month. Aging allows both the germ to oxidise as well as the glutamine. Thus a lot of the nutrition of the germ is lost, but the oxidation of the glutamine makes it stronger so that it makes a lighter loaf. With home milling we need to use our flour within a day. After that the germ is oxidising and it is that which enables fresh milled flour to make good bread. 48 hours afyer milling the flour won't make good bread until it has properly aged. Never use autolysis with freshly home milled flour. The flour has very high levels of enzymes which will degrade the gluten during autolysis. I give the flour a 30 minute stand after rough mixing to allow the dough to hydrate. I make sur the salt is in that dough as it inhibits the enzymes from breaking down the gluten. Autolysis is a technique developed for aged white flour. It is not a universal improver. A drum sieve with 1mm and 0.5mm meshes will let you remove 10% and 20% of the flour respectively. Bolt after the first milling and before the second. This gives you the option to make lighter loaves. But don't throw that bran away. Pop it in a jar and use it as a topping on your breads. It gives a lovely finish. Lastly: Do get hold of some heritage wheats. All of the usual wheat is commodity wheat bred for high yield and not for flavour. Heritage wheat is becoming more available in the States now as it is in Europe. You will be astonished at the incredible flavour of the bread. Think artisan cheese vs processed cheese in the supermarket. Unfortunately heritage wheats have weak gluten so you may wish to blend in some strong white flours for your first few bakes. Anyway, great video and I hope this is useful... I came across your video whilst looking for something else. Be well :)

I also made two loaves and compared the rise and loaf with the same recipe- one fresh milled wheat the other store bought flour. I’ll be sharing my results with your explanation. The fresh milled rose less but had way better flavor :)

[@kevinu.k.7042]

@@RowesRising Commercial flour is blended to get the gluten strength they want. In the States they often add a small amount of ascorbic acid to the flour. It might be marked as Vit. C. on the packet. That toughens the gluten and gives a better loaf volume. You don't need to read the post out. It would come better with your words I think. It's just stuff I've learned from others. :) Good baking!

Thanks for the great video Katie, have you tried this recipe sans sugar, or with a artificial sweetener? does it effect the yeast and the rising action? I am leaning toward starting to make bread again but the sugar thing is a barrier. Your kiddos are sweet!

[@RowesRising]

You can omit sugar just a a bit more salt to make it a bit saltier for flavor Todd. I also do not use sugar in my sourdough so you can aim for that.

[@stevefromthegarden1135]

I have a real interest in getting a flour mill and will probably get the Nutrimill. A few questions for you. Do you sprout then dry your wheat before using it? I noticed commercial bread flours will add some sprouted barley flour to the wheat flour. Have you experimented with adding barley flour? Adding some Eikorn in the mix is also supposed to add some additional protein and change the flavor profile a bit. All fun experiments I will like to try out with my bread making.

The “stones” used in this are made of man-made Corundum which contains aluminum and pieces flake off into the flour. People think this is a “REAL” stone mill, but it’s nothing like the real granite stone used in the huge commercial mills. I got rid of mine because I was tired of chomping down on hard pieces of Corundum in the bread and ingesting the material, which could be unnoticed if in powder form as it’s toxic. I went with a stainless steel burr grinder so no more problems or worries. The only real natural stone mill you can buy for home is from the company called Salzburg in Austria.

[@RowesRising]

Thanks for sharing this. Is this with certain brands? I haven’t noticed any bits of stone. My grain mill, specifically, is a Komo Fidibus Classic I was given by a subscriber- it’s an Austrian-made mill, I’m curious if it has the stone from Austria you mention.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@RowesRisingplease do your own research and don’t just rely on what others say. Corundum is the crystalline form of aluminium oxide, yes, however it is a very tough material. Highly doubted that grinding vegetation through would be enough to powder it down at all.

Thank you so much for sharing this. Quick question, I made my bread and it was delicious, but when I started cutting towards the center, it was doughy, do I just need to cook it longer, I followed the timing that you had?

[@RowesRising]

This might not be a quick answer😅You may need to cook longer? Thump the bottom for a hollowish sound. Was your dough proved well enough? And room temp for your final rise? Sometimes you may need more or less time with each step- depends on your environment, ingredients etc. the key is to learn when the dough is fluffy and airy- typically when it doubles in size the last rise. If not- it can be gummy inside. Or just need a longer bake? Let’s trouble shoot.

[@user-nx5sw4ic8l]

You can check the temp of the bread to know when it’s done. Rich-dough breads 180-190°F (82-88°C) Rich-dough breads-those with significant fat or sugar content, such as brioche, dinner rolls, challah, or even tender sandwich bread-are done when they reach 180-190°F Lean-dough breads 190-210°F (88-99°C) Lean dough breads-those with minimal or no fat or sugar, such as baguette, sourdough, most kinds of rye bread

[@RowesRising]

You would need to sift out the bran with a fine sifter. I found that using hard red wheat flour from Costco makes a perfect soft loaf. I’m on the hunt for a flour sifter- finer than the current sifter I have because it does not remove the smaller bran. Bosch Nutrimill has a sifter attachment for their mixer that makes fine pastry flour. I’m sure that would remove all the bran from hard wheat to make a soft loaf. You can also use hard white wheat- but again, needs to be sifted for that softer bread texture. For cakes etc you would use soft white wheat for milling and sift it for your cakes and cookies. I hope that helps!!

I have the Komo Fidibus Classic. Which was given to me by a subscriber. I have an affiliate link for the other Nutrimill Harvest grain mill which I have not used but is very similar to the KFC. Both are stone mills. (Nutrimill has other options) Main difference to me is one pays me a commission when you buy. Nutrimill have a variety of grain mills.

OK I have a question every time I make bread it seems very moist on the inside still. Am I just not cooking it long enough? I make it for as long as your video said to make it. Should I just let it sit on the counter and does it finish cooking that way? I am genuinely confused lol

[@RowesRising]

Are you using your bread machine? Are you slicing it fresh out of the oven? A lot of times mine sits in the bread maker past baking on the warm setting for 10-15 minutes before I get to it. I haven’t had an issue with moisture unless I slice into it while it’s still warm!! Then it seems like it’s very moist. Once it cools there is no issue. I cool on a wire rack, and then when completely cool it has a normal crumb. But the hot crumb is steamy :)

What type of oats do you use in this recipe?

[@RowesRising]

I’m using organic rolled oats. Not quick Oates although you can use those. These leave a tiny bit of texture and quick oats would not.

I made this recipe with only hard red and it didn’t rise or knead like the one in the video, should I get white?

[@RowesRising]

Might need a bit more moisture and to sift out the larger bran from the fresh milled wheat.

Hi Katie! REALLY curious to know something - as a fellow sufferer of Hashimoto's, I was wondering if you have followed the holistic advice to not eat gluten (due to molecular mimicry), or if you are able to eat freshly milled bread without consequence. I'm so confused and not sure what to believe, or do. Thoughts? TIA!

[@RowesRising]

I can eat fresh milled products and homemade products just fine. I have terrible sensitivity to mass manufactured foods/gluten products from the store so I try to not buy those things cause if they are in the house chances are I will eat them at some point 😅 I will say, listen to your body and your lab results and see what works best for you. I’m still medicated despite my efforts to not be in the past.

[@kimwilliams6674]

@@RowesRising That's so great to hear! I am doing a trial run of 90 days with no gluten whatsoever to see how I feel. I have no digestive issues when I eat it, but am told it causes an attack on the thyroid even though I can't feel it. I would LOVE to be able to eat my freshly milled products again, but I worry 'they' are right and it will cause issues. So hard to know what to believe! Thanks SO much for the input. 😊

[@RowesRising]

Everything you say is true!! I don’t feel badly when I eat homemade gluten products. When I’m not breastfeeding or pregnant, I can go gluten free much easier and regulate my thyroid… but with pregnancy and breastfeeding- calories matter more. And keeping my thyroid in healthy levels during pregnancy and breastfeeding is so important I don’t play around with trying to regulate with diet. I struggle to eat enough and if I eliminated homemade bread I might get deathly I’ll like I did with baby 3. I was on a very strict diet and suffered more because I was starving- practically living off chicken, broth, kale, fruit and avocados for months- I was skin and bones, depressed and miserable. I will revisit gluten free and more diet restrictions once a human isn’t dependent on my for nourishment. Then I scan resume playing around with my health😅

[@kimwilliams6674]

@@RowesRising Oh wow, yes, that makes sense! I do take thyroid meds for the hypo but am trying to treat the Hashi’s with diet. So not fun! I keep hearing I need to do the AIP diet but I just can’t yet. So restrictive. Anyway, I’m always curious to know how others approach this thyroid mess we have so thank you so much for the convo! ❤️

Hi there. I was watching another video of yours where you said your bread machine recipe was in a previous video. Is this that same recipe? Would you mind telling me the settings you use for it? Thanks!!

[@RowesRising]

Yes this is my standard daily loaf and I make it in the bread machine or by hand. It’s a 200g loaf so your bread machine needs to be that size for these measurements 😅 I use the 3hour 45min standard loaf setting medium darkness. You can also use the quick loaf setting.

Would 4 cups of flour = 4 cups of wheat berries?

[@teresaroys3582]

No, 3 cups of grain yields 4-4.5 cups of flour.

[@charlenepakes8086]

I followed your recipe, and I made a nice loaf of bread . Unfortunately, there was a huge hole in the middle of the loaf. What did I do wrong?

[@RowesRising]

I’m not sure…. Hmmm that’s never happened to me before. I always check my dough after a few minutes of kneading to make sure it does not need more water or flour. And to scrape the sides down. I’ve made hundreds of loaves and never had a hole like that… did you use cold butter that clumped in the middle of the dough and melted in the bake? That’s the only thing I can think of. I’m so sorry! 🌻🌻🌻

You may need to add a bit more flour depending on your grind and if you sift or not. Sifting out the bran then measuring your flour helps some. Add flour as needed.🌻🌻🌻

How much do you use

[@RowesRising]

4 tablespoons of any natural sweetener- maple syrup, honey, agave, can sugar…If you use liquid, increase flour by the teaspoon or add another spoon of oats. Experimentation is fun and we learn so much in the process. When I’ve used liquid sweetener I pay attention to my dough and if it’s too wet I’ll add the extra dry.

[@B.Robinson19]

I just got a grain mill and I made your recipe for my first loaf. I don’t know what I did wrong. I had to use ghee instead of olive oil, because I didn’t have any olive oil and I think my mill may have been set to the coarser setting, but it did not rise much at all. The other thing is that my pan may have been a little too large. It was a bread pan, but it was a little wider.

[@RowesRising]

Hmmm- keep trying and experimenting. That’s how we learn. Also you might try doing half bread flour from the store and half fresh milled and then tweak it until you can do all fresh milled. Finer grind and possibly sift the bran out- the bran can cut the gluten bubbles and prevent it from rising well if it’s too coarse and jagged. Don’t get discouraged- we still eat my ugly loaves😅

[@B.Robinson19]

@@RowesRising thanks for your advice. It turned out ok and still tastes great, so we’re eating it. The other thing that I realized is that maybe I did not let the yeast sit long enough in the wet ingredients before I mixed it in with the dry ingredients.
